Tiger Beer and Thai

We recently received two sample bottles of Tiger Beer (pause for a moment to recognize a BeerUnion milestone: our first sample!) and used it as a good excuse to order in some Thai food – the only Southeast Asian food option in our neighborhood. The pairing was definitely a case of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts. While the beer didn’t have the traditionally strong grassy and peppery pilsner flavors, those were provided by the massaman curry we had. The understated sweetness and slight creaminess of the Tiger soothed the spiciness of the curry, while still complementing the flavors of the coconut milk.
